[AI] Python programmers! Blixemel, first alpha released version. One model so far

[John Carlson]

Note that I did a 90 degree rotation around Y at the last second, so I’m
expecting issues with other models.

Note without textures you won’t be able to import everything.  Get the
sandrunner_bike.blend from emails or Vince Marchetti to start the export.

I’m hoping python programmers will experiment some with different models.
I haven’t tried skinned models yet.
